Deepika speaks fine. She might have an indian accent but that's not put on. PC and Aish is the worst. When they start to talk, u can't help but notice their fakness and their wanna be attitude. I still love Aish though because she is a great actress, am willing to pass her fake accent.

From the guys, I haven't noticed anyone who puts on an accent. I didn't even notice it on Salman. He speaks fine to me.

Priyanka and it's so annnoying trying to be all modern but epically failing looking like a dehati a pendu and gawar no offence she's stuck in her dostana and fashion role

Thank God kareena voiced it

Deepika has a natural South Indian accent and I'm proud of her that she doesn't fake a wannabe accent and try to sound American or something. There is nothing wrong with the way she speaks and people understand her perfectly fine. I think this topic refers to celebs who put on fake

accents, not those who have Indian accents😛

I would say Ash...OMG her accent changes in every interview😆 I can't stand to watch them..Also, PC! I adore her but I saw this interview of PC with the media at the special screening of WYR, abroad and her accent was SO different! Totally wannabe! "Like, I didn't use any prosthaatics, or anythang." LOL it sounded like that...she was stretching her e's into a's or something :S Oh and I saw this one interview where she was talking about Twitter and at first she's like "Twit-a" (Indian accent) but then she was asked about "Jay Sean on something and she totally changed her accent to Taawiter", pronouncing the R like Americans..

I have nothing against Ash or PC, i just noticed these things!

I agree. That's what I said too. That deepika's accent seems natural. It doesn't change from interview to the next. She always speaks the same.

I just saw the KWK episode today and was it me or was Saif's accent really good? I don't think he was trying at all but he sounded pretty cool😎

Akshay Kumar's accent is pretty bad for sure...hmm I dont know who else of the Bollywood men has an good or unbearable accent

Saif has one of the best and most natural accent while speaking English! It has a slight british twang to it, but more of the refined Anglo-saxon tone rather than the more rural / countryside dialect that some Briton's have! (Which sounds fine in its spoken by natives, but not when outsiders attempt to speak it!)

Even SRK has a wonderful accent...very Indian, but he never mispronounces any words! It comes out sounding unaffected and natural.

Amitabh Bachachan is another actor who has an impeccable English and even though his English is very Indian accented (as it should be, considering he is an Indian), he makes it sound so damn good!

I love Katrina's accent too! I mean on any other actress, it would have sounded awful, but because she is British, it sounds great! Her hindi is another story altogether!

I just cannot understand what Salman says half the time...wonder why he gets that American accent out of nowhere!

Deepika has a strong South Indian lilt to her way of speaking, but it sounds nice and not jarring the way Sridevi or Jayaprada used to sound!

Aishwarya does keep changing her accents as does Priyanka! They remind me of Ross Geller from FRIENDS! Regular viewers of the sitcom will remember a particularly hilarious episode where Ross ends up giving a lecture to his class in British English!😆 And then realizes that he cannot continue talking in it and changes it back to American English! And when his class wonders about the change in his accent, he again switches back to British English!😆 Ash and Piggy are somewhat like him!

They should just stick to their own accent. Why the heck try and copy other accents?!

Heck what's the point of copying American or British accent when it totally NEVER sounds American or British ....not even the slightest teeny weeny insy winsy bit?!

Actually one thing that totally sounds so fake and unwanted is when they try to copy American lingo with all that "Dude" and forced "Umm's".😳 Just don't......over do the stuff, it doesn't sound what it's supposed to sound.

It sounds funny as well as ridiculous when they try to speak in an american accent. I haven't seen/ heard anyone trying to copy British accent 😆😆, must be very difficult to copy it.
